EIGHTH REPRINT FOREWORD

The Administrative Rules portion of this reprint includes revisions to Part 9, Hearings and Appeals, of the Administrative Rules as filed with the Secretary of State on November 13, 1998.

In the rules, all references to the Michigan Department of State Highways means the Michigan Department of Transportation and references to the Commission means the Director of the Department of Transportation.

The remaining rules are as adopted in accordance with the requirements of Act 200 of the Public Acts of 1969 and as amended by Act 83 of 1978 and Act 177 of 1981. This is to insure maximum protection for the public through reasonable control of driveway access, banners, parades and road closures on state trunkline highways.

The department continues to recognize that the right of access to state trunklines, other than limited access highways, is incidental to ownership of abutting land. It’s goal is to grant land owners access for their needs consistent with the department’s access management concepts. The department’s driveway permit process determines the location and design of the driveways that will provide freedom of traffic movement, safety of the highway users and preservation of the highway capacity.

Platted streets and other public highway approaches and crossovers in the highway medians are not covered by these rules, but shall be governed by appropriate state statutes and requirements of the department.

The department maintains typical layouts of various types of driveways that conform to these rules. Copies of the typical layouts and assistance in matters relating to these rules may be obtained by contacting the department’s regional offices, Transportation Service Centers, or the Lansing office.
